Bcdedit /import "C:\backup\BCD-backup"
CAUTION If you don??™t import the right data, your system may become nonbootable after your next
reboot when it reads this data, so double-check to make sure you are importing the correct file before
you issue the command.
Manipulating BCD Entries So far, you??™ve read about the most common BCD commands.
Sometimes you will need to manipulate BCD entries themselves. This includes the need
to create and delete an entry, copy entries within the store, and set entry options. Let??™s
say you wanted to create a Windows Loader entry manually in the current BCD. This
would be necessary if you wanted to have a separate set of boot options for the same
install??”you could have a normal boot option and one with debugging enabled. Let??™s
see this in practice since it demonstrates many of the commands for manipulating BCD
entries.
Let??™s assume your current Windows Server 2008 installation is loaded by the Windows
Boot Loader, with the identifier {0f732d04-e6b2-11da-b631-b722247cd703}. The
first step would be to make a copy of this entry:
Bcdedit /copy {0f732d04-e6b2-11da-b631-b722247cd703} /d "Windows Server
2008 (with debug)"
This creates a new entry in the BCD system store with the description ???Windows
Server 2008 (with debug).??? By default, this entry is added to the bottom of every list
including boot sequence and boot menu order.
